Report No.: RIVM report 2022-0208
Synopsis
It is important that consumers are able to use products safely. This requires an accurate estimate of the level at which consumers are exposed when they use the product. RIVM has developed the ConsExpo computer programme for this purpose. A web application for this programme (ConsExpo Web) is now available. Among other things, this makes it possible to calculate the level of exposure to a particular chemical when products such as paint, cleaning products or cosmetics are used indoors.
Fact sheets with default models and exposure values are available for the benefit of ConsExpo Web users. By using these models and values, ConsExpo Web users are able to estimate the level of exposure in a transparent and standardised way. Several fact sheets are available. The Fact Sheet on DIY Products has been revised.
The DIY Products Fact Sheet lists default values for the purpose of estimating the level of exposure to a particular chemical in a DIY product. Examples of such values are the frequency of use and the amount of product used. The revisions concern a description of the most recent data sources, a review of the quality of the new information and an adjustment of the default values wherever necessary.
In parallel with the publication of the revised DIY Products Fact Sheet, there will be an update to the default values in the ConsExpo database for glues, sealants, fillers, coatings and other products.
